COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK: Hapi Cocktail at The Consulate in Midtown

A well-made daiquiri is a beautiful thing. And, that's just what I got during a recent visit to the bar at The Consulate. But this was no ordinary daiquiri. This was a masterful riff on the classic using the rum-like Brazilian spirit cachaça , rainwater Madeira and collard green shrub made by Mr. Mike Jones, the restaurant's gallant, and quite dapper, beverage director.

The Hapi Cocktail consists of cachaça (ka-sha-sa), rainwater Madeira, collard green shrub, brown butter tincture and lemon. While the ingredients listed for the drink are unrecognizable to those of the classic daiquiri, upon first sip, there is little doubt it is indeed a daiquiri.  

The Consulate, 10 10th St. NW, Atlanta. 404-254-5760, theconsulateatlanta.com.
